Justification for Sole Source
The USCG intends to award this BOA Call to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The justification, citing FAR 12.102(a), states that Sikorsky holds all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings. The item is complex, requires unique production techniques and testing, and the government does not own the necessary technical data. This specific duct assembly is the only one approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T helicopter, and it has an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating a direct acquisition from the manufacturer. It is deemed uneconomical to purchase elsewhere.
